My two favourite players. End of an era, most definitely.

Awesome stuff - both absolute legends, not just for Manly but rugby league generally.

A 10 year partnership in the centre's and lifetime mateship as premiership winner's

The current group need to find this kind of quality and bond between players if we are to make it back to the top again.

That was awsome! Those two have brought us fans some of the best footy memories of manly we could of hoped for! Congrats to both of you

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

An unforgettable duo, we will certainly miss them!

You could see Skivvy was having difficulty managing it, he's not a public speaker anyway but that would be bloody hard to do!!

Best thing about this video is we have Skivy for another year other wise he'd be having a farewell week celebration as well.

10 years of having the best centre pairing in the competition. It doesn't get much better than that !

And 2 top blokes to go with it. Players like them make me proud to be a silvertail.

Well done to Matai, bloody great message and I had a teary watching him.

Made me think how fortunate we are to have had both in the maroon and white at the same time, the two best centres in the world.

Then I started crying more when I thought about the players that may be our centres for next year......no comparison what so ever, different league, different class. (And if the boys ala doorman want to reach the heights of legend status take a look at these two, nothing less will be considered great IMO.)

Yes I am a hard marker, but when you have had the best the bar is high and nothing below that is truly acceptable.

Love Killer, love Skivvy and I thank them both so much for giving us something to cheer about for such a long time and for being Manly men.

 

[midsteyne]

i reckon they were an absolute best pairing,skilled in all aspects of the game,hope matai plays on,wish killer would play another season to teach the young guns how to be eagles

 

[Woodsie]

Would have loved to see the pair of them play back in the style of inside and outside centres.

To have seen a deep set backline running on to the ball at pace with Lyon inside Matai and wolfie on the wing would have been sensational.

 

[niccipops]

Aww Stevie.
I just want to give him a cuddle.
Minus two Premierships without those two champions.
There will never be anyone like Killer. Legend.
I think this video indicates The Matai is staying onboard. Fantastic news I reckon.

 

[killerspud]

Cant we keep killer at 5/8 for 1 more year?? Great to see Steve is around for another year champion bloke champion player and tough, those 2 blokes can teach our pups so much please stick around for years to come in some form or another.

Why don't we have an update on Matai's recovery ?

Was his disc fixed or will he have a lifetime of pain 🙁

He's had a lifetime of pain already, do you think that's going to magically change ??
